2005 AFL Draft

The 2005 AFL Draft consisted of a pre-season draft, a national draft, a trade period and a rookie elevation. The AFL Draft is the annual draft of talented players by Australian rules football teams that participate in the main competition of that sport, the Australian Football League.

In 2005 there were 76 picks to be drafted amongst 16 teams in the national draft. The Carlton Blues received the first pick in the national draft after finishing on the bottom of the ladder during the 2005 AFL season.

In addition to the national draft, the 2005/06 off-season featured Trade Week (prior to the national draft) and Pre-season and Rookie Drafts (following the national draft).
